PJ inspector smuggled cars
Caught in criminal network of theft, tampering or dismantling cars.

An inspector of the Judicial Police of Leiria is suspected of being involved in the theft, tampering or dismantling of goods passenger cars was dismantled yesterday by the GNR of Leiria.

Nine members of the group, which yesterday began to be questioned in the Court of Leiria were arrested. The inspector of the PJ was identified and constituted defendant - PJ participated in the investigation, with regard to the employee - and has in parallel opened disciplinary proceedings by the national directory.

Last year, the group had 40 stolen vehicles, 19 of which were recovered by the GNR, who made 19 searches, four of them on scraps, in the districts of Leiria and Santarém. Were also seized vehicle parts already dismantled dozens of tools used for theft and tampering, some amount of drug, 3400 euros, 22 mobile phones, a pistol and other goods.

The gang had two ringleaders, 60, who were arrested, and several operational, Portuguese and Moroccan. "We are talking about a group with a well-defined hierarchical structure," said to the CM the Captain Tiago Silva of GNR, noting that there were "several groups operating" very professional and well organized.

Thanks, Pedro. What a peculiar crime for the PJ to be committing - and interesting to see Morocco's involvement.
